From our consultants:
1. Edit AvailableAttributes.xml Windchill\codebase\com\ptc\core\htmlcomp\createtableview\AvailableAttributes.xml and add following lines under WorkItem (Add highlighted lines)
<Class name="wt.workflow.work.WorkItem">
<Include name="wt.fc.Persistable"/>
<Include name="wt.ownership.Ownable"/>
<Attribute id="completedBy"/>
<Attribute id="name"/>
<Attribute id="reassigned" type="boolean"/>
<Attribute id="required" type="boolean"/>
<Attribute id="role" type="list" enumClass="wt.project.Role"/>
<Attribute id="workItemStatus" schemaId="status" type="list" enumClass="wt.workflow.work.WfAssignmentState"/>
<Attribute id="containerName"/>
<Attribute id="workitem_pbolink"/> <Attribute id="SaledOrderDescriptionWorkItem">
<Label resource="ext.mb.MBResource" key="SALES_ORDER_DESCRIPTION_LABEL"/>
</Attribute>
<Attribute id="SalesOrderNumberWorkItem">
<Label resource="ext.mb.MBResource" key="SALES_ORDER_NUMBER_LABEL"/>
</Attribute>
</Class>
2. Edit the Windchill\codebase\com\ptc\windchill\enterprise\enterpriseui.dataUtilities.properties.xconf and add the following lines under the <Service name="com.ptc.core.components.descriptor.DataUtility"> tag:
<Option serviceClass="ext.mb.CustomChangeNoticeAttributeDataUtility"
requestor="java.lang.Object"
selector="SaledOrderDescriptionWorkItem"
cardinality="singleton"/>
<Option serviceClass="ext.mb.CustomChangeNoticeAttributeDataUtility"
requestor="java.lang.Object"
selector="SalesOrderNumberWorkItem"
cardinality="singleton"/>
3. Run "xconfmanager -p" to propagate the changes.
4. Place the DataUtility files under Windchill/src/ext/mb folder (create folders if necessary)
5. Execute the below command to compile the classes:
tools class -Dclass.includes=ext\mb\**
6. Restart the server and add the column to the view.
Works Great!!
